The Korea Music Content Association (KMCA) is considering excluding album sales figures of artists and labels involved in tampering allegations from its Circle Chart, the KMCA said on Friday. (It owns circle chart which collects digital, physical and social charts)
The KMCA also hinted at the exclusions extending to the data it provides to eight domestic music programs, including “M Countdown,” “Music Bank,” “Show! Music Core” and “Inkigayo” and music awards like the Circle Chart Music Awards, MAMA Awards and Golden Disc Awards.
“We express significant concerns regarding tampering attempts made by some entertainment companies or producers to entice artists from their competitors to leave their current management and sign with them instead,” the KMCA said in its press release.
”Tampering is a term that began in the athletic field, where a sports team tries to persuade an athlete of another team to leave and join its team instead.“
“Specifically, we express deep concern over the recent media coverage of tampering allegations related to All doors Open’s former CEO Min Hee-jin, and issues regarding the tampering attempts of an entertainment company to sign the former members of Fifty Fifty, highlighting the prevalence of this practice within the country’s music industry.”
The KMCA demanded that Min, MDH3 and the National Assembly take action on tampering issues.
“We demand that Min, the former CEO of ADOR, elaborate on the tampering allegations and her stance regarding the situation. While many speculative press reports are coming out, Min remains accountable for providing clear answers to the public,” the KMCA said.
“NJS members must fulfill their exclusive contracts and reach an agreement through discussions with their agency instead of taking lopsided actions. If they are unable to find common ground, then they should wait for a judicial review.”
